Bug Description

Ubuntu Software Center 1.1.15, Ubuntu Lucid

1. Launch Ubuntu Software Center.

What you see:
* "Get Software" in the navigation pane
* "Get Free Software" in the pathbutton.

What you should see:
* "Get Software" in the navigation pane
* "Get Software" in the pathbutton.

Since USC now shows PPAs and other external software sources, for some users, some of the software it shows might not be free in either sense of the word. (For example, an organization with a private repository for software it has purchased.)

<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#lobby>: "Whenever the lobby screen is being displayed: * The path button should consist only of the “Get Software” element."

These probably should not even be separate strings. If they were a single string, if we ever needed to change it again we'd need to change it in only one place. (And it might be less work for translators too.) It may save time to fix this bug at the same time as bug 530398.
